there is a large gap from "programming language types with conservative/simple syntax to cover 60-70% common" and "zomg exotic higher order type syntax that's turing complete and I ported Doom to it". why don't devs see the former is useful and the latter is mental illness?

I filed an FCC complaint against @tmobile for violating their own contracts and ending billing plans with lifetime rate guarantees. Their response to my complaint was a non-responsive form letter, and the FCC is like "cool, thanks, complaint closed, have a nice day". fuck you.

FOR THOSE OF YOU CONFUSED: The "Standard" in "Standard Time" does not mean "Normal" or "Accurate" It means "STANDARDIZED" time An arbitrary time of arbitrary time zone lines. Some "Standard" times can be up to an hour off the actual sun time.

here's what I think of when anyone talks about the scams and fraud of trump... this scene from Shawshank Redemption: "...scams you haven't even dreamed of. kickbacks on his kickbacks. it's a river of dirty money running through this place."

Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled. You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.

Am now convinced that a significant percentage of people on this website believe that changing the clocks affects the actual amount of daylight a particular point on earth receives on any given day.
S.V. Dáte@svdate

Stupid, stupid bill. Kids in northern states, particularly in places further east in their time zones, will be walking and waiting for the morning bus in the dark. If changing your clock is so burdensome, fine. Go to year-round standard time.

no! we need more "morning" during the sunlight. huge difference. we don't control the sun. we shouldn't manipulate the clock times. we SHOULD control the relative area norm start times for schools and businesses. those should shift to stay aligned (somewhat) with sun cycles.

I don’t want my children walking to their bus 🚌 stop when it’s pitch black. And I don’t want their bus drivers to have to drive while it’s pitch black. We need MORE SUN ☀️ in the morning.

@nickmmark I don't care which permanent one they pick. it will be good for some and bad for others. just pisses me off that all the anti-DST arguments might jeopardize them finally locking one of them. if they locked it, localities could start adapting themselves.

@getifyX Agree that not changing would be an improvement. But permanent ST > permanent DST >> the status quo. Permanent DST failed disastrously the last time it was tried in 1974. Why not try doing it the right way?

@nickmmark if a city shifted school hours, businesses would follow suit because so most employees are school parents.

@nickmmark you don't need local areas to change the clocks. that's my whole point. you need clocks not changing and local areas changing the local "norm" business/school hours to shift with sun cycles. that's literally it.

this is so fucking stupid. keeping the clocks the same removes a huge swath of complexity (software, etc) from our world. the cost? that you'd gave to change your mind part of year to "school/work start later right now". why is that so damn hard?
Nick Mark MD@nickmmark

To the make DST permanent Folks who say “just start school later” You aren’t wrong. But presumably YOU’d also have to start your day later if your kids did. Essentially you are just arguing for everyone starting at 10am instead of 9am. Congrats you’ve invented standard time.

@nickmmark what works in maine does not work in texas. no one "standard rule" will ever work for everyone. stop the clock change chaos and let areas shift norm times according to their sun exposure.

@nickmmark then cities/areas could say, for these months, school start shifts. by 30min or an hour or 2 hrs... same for standard working/business hours. every place adjusts to what works best for them to maximize sunlight.
